The Career Center in the FSU Community
The Career Center is a resource available on campus that works to help Florida State students, faculty and staff, alumni, and community members as they navigate many aspects of college life, from choosing a major to applying for graduate school. Inside, you can find numerous resources available to you and other members of the FSU community that delivers comprehensive, innovative, and inclusive career and employment services.
Throughout the year, The Career Center offers online and in-person guides to help if you are drafting a resume or cover letter for jobs, internships, graduate school, and more. Through the Career Library and Advising, or the quick list of online guides through the website, they offer many ways to help you feel confident in your credentials- both on and off paper. They are home to resources like their Mock Interview Program, which functions to aid students in honing and developing certain interviewing skills. If you have an upcoming interview, you can also take advantage of the Virtual Interview Space; you can request one of the Center’s private interview rooms to complete a phone or virtual interview with an employer. Another resource hosted by the Career Center in accordance with the FSU Professional Fraternity Council is the Professional Clothing Closet. Students can make appointments to visit the Professional Clothing Closet and use various apparel items throughout the academic year. Among these resources, the Career Center also offers online databases like Handshake for finding positions on and around campus, drop-in career advising, and various events and workshops all year long.
This facility isn’t only aimed at students. The Career Center prides itself on the relationships it carries with employers, faculty and staff, alumni, families, and the community. As mentioned before, employers from the community that have a passion or knowledge for their career field that they would like to share to students here at FSU. If you feel led to share what you know about a certain career field, you can become a ProfessioNole Mentor today. For employers, there are other additional ways to stay partnered with The Career Center, attend career fairs, and recruit students for jobs or internships. For families, The Career Center provides ways to support students as they navigate decisions like choosing a major or as they search for jobs and internships. Ultimately, The Career Center is here to let families know that they ensure students have guidance and services on campus when it comes to a student’s career development.
